been meaning to do this but a couple easy to get biographies about me are 2 part series by James Pickett. It was the funniest biographer with energy of "sit down, shut up, and here who he really was you idiots." 1/3

Don’t forget. Biden’s DoJ was investigating uncharged third parties in the Epstein files up until the last minute. Trump shut down the investigation, sent the files to DC, & fired the prosecutors. They went through them, redacted Trump’s name, then elected not to release them and closed the matter.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

It really makes you wonder: if the GOP is willing to accept the rapidly increasing suspicion surrounding Trump by redacting those files so heavily, how horrible must the material actually be?

To be clear, this should be one of the biggest scandals to ever reach the presidency.
DOJ - after illegally scrubbing Trump from the Epstein files - is retroactively removing files they missed that would be embarrassing to the President.
It’s a complete affront to Justice.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.
That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

What's so frustrating in this moment of explicit government censorship is how many times groups like the ACLU and others told us they _had_ to defend neo nazis because of the principle of free speech. Now that fascists are in power, none of those principles are protecting marginalized groups.

CBS News pulled a “60 Minutes” segment on Trump administration deportations of Venezuelan immigrants to a brutal El Salvador prison, causing staffers and media onlookers to decry the decision as politically motivated.
That comes days after Trump publicly complained the show was treating him badly.

Kash Patel is being driven around in specially armored BMWs that the FBI bought at his request.
Patel earlier this year pressed the FBI to purchase a new, more modern FBI jet for his use, but the proposal was abandoned over cost estimates. www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...
